    Wow, just saws one of these out on a test drive in Annapolis this afternoon, at the boat show. We were sailing and it came up to us ready to lift. It took off and looked so smooth!! Very exciting tech. Imagine traveling in such a quiet, smooth, fast hull! No more smell, loud noise, slamming. It was a site to behold.

    I'm wondering if it can turn in the same radius as a regular speedboat when it's at foiling speed. Also wondering about what the foiling speed range is - how slow can it go before it drops back in the water?

    • @vanjaajdar
      @vanjaajdar Год назад +4

      The purpose of this speedboat is lower fuel consumption, i.e. no pollution and comfort, i think that's the most important thing about this model. I don't think they led by making a rocket that turns left and right. This is definitely the future, no pollution and supreme comfort...... Good luck Candela...

      @mrmullin7 Год назад +4

      Powerboats don’t really coast like a car so there’s little to no inertia to recover by regen. As soon as you let off the throttle, it feels like your hitting the brakes. The friction of the water takes up all of the energy or slowing down.

    I didn't think they would be able to come up with an electric boat. When it comes to cars, not hearing the engine is bothersome (I think the rumble of a tuned V-8 is one of the best sounds in the world). But for some reason when it comes to boats the normal engine sound is aggravating and annoying, much louder and does not sound as good as car. But there is an application with boating you don't have with cars, and that's Fishing! This would definitely be a plus for any type of fishing boat, plus allow you to hold a conversion while driving the boat. I have to say impressed - till I see the price tag I'm sure. lol

    my calculations of average lithium battery packs with 5kWh each would require 14 to go 57 nautical miles... thats 1300lbs of battery weight... to go 57 nautical miles? are my calculations wrong? can it hydrofoil with 1300 extra pounds or only with a few miles worth of batteries onboard?

    • @mikaelkrogh2037
      @mikaelkrogh2037 2 месяца назад +1

      This is wrong, fortunately. The whole boat weighs and incredible low 1,750kg / 3,858lb. As far as I know they have not disclosed the weight of the battery pack, but they are using a car battery pack from Polestar - my guesstimate is around 250kg / 500lb.

    seems like it be a completely different feel. bouncing on the waves is part of the fun of a speedboat. i'm thinking if there's some branch, seaweed or unexpected object below the surface, it could damage the foil and i'd be pretty concerned what happens to the passengers if the boat hits or snags something while hydrofoiling. looks cool though.

    I grew up boating with my grandparents. This seems like a very 1 dimensional boat. If there is no wake then wake boarding and water skiing are significantly less fun, so are those blow up water skimming things. Not to mention what is boating without the roar of an engine after someone yells, "hit it!" Like I'm sure it is fun in the same way an electric car can be fun. But electric propelled objects just lack the character and charm of their ICE counterparts in most cases.
